High or Low Blood Pressure? Purpose: The purpose of this experiment is to compare blood pressure as related to gender and athletic status. Hypothesis: I predict that males have a higher blood pressure than women and athletes have a higher blood pressure than non athletes Background Info: Blood pressure is the amount of force that blood pushes against the inside walls of blood vessels as it passes through. This pressure

systolic blood pressure? Systolic blood pressure is the pressure exerted against artery walls created when the heart contracts to push oxygenated blood throughout the body. As blood pressure is represented by 2 numbers‚ systolic blood pressure is the upper number. A normal systolic blood pressure is 120 or below although it largely depends on the physical properties and capabilities of the individual. Q 2) what do you understand by the term diastolic blood pressure? Diastolic blood pressure indicates

The History of Blood Pressure Finding out someone’s blood pressure is very important. Johannes Müller once said‚ “The discovery of blood pressure was more important than the discovery of blood.” Someone’s blood pressure could be high‚ and no one would know. The reason being is that a person with high blood pressure‚ also known as hypertension‚ will usually have no symptoms. High or low blood pressure cannot be detected without being measured. High blood pressure could cause heart attacks‚ strokes

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE The definition of High blood pressure is a measurement of the force applied against the walls of the arteries as the heart pumps blood through the body. The pressure is determined by the force and amount of blood pumped and the size and flexibility of the arteries. The blood pressure is continually changing depending on activity‚ temperature‚ diet‚ emotional state‚ posture‚ physical state‚ and drugs. The blood pressure is ussually taken while the person

Blood pressure is the measure of the pressure against the walls of the arteries. There are two forces that form blood pressure. One of the forces is created when the heart pumps blood into the arteries through the circulatory system. The other force is due to the arteries as they resist the flow of blood. Blood pressure is always stated in two numbers‚ systolic pressure and diastolic pressure. The higher number is systolic pressure which represents the pressure while heart contracts to pump the blood
